<p>The key value proposal for network computers and thin clients

is that the total cost of ownership is lower than for

&quot;fat&quot; PCs. IBM, Sun, SCO, HP, Fujitsu, Citrix, Oracle,

and many other vendors on cooperating to develop standards for

managing NCs and other thin clients to achieve faster application

deployment, lower training costs, dramatically lower installation

and configuration effort, etc. We'll discuss what subjects are

being standardized and how.</p>

Systems. At the end of 1989 he became VTAM manager for strategy,

requirements, planning, and performance. In August 1992 Mark

became the Product and Systems manager for MultiProtocol

Transport Networking (MPTN) and the AnyNet product family. In

April 1996 he joined the strategy departments covering mobile and

network computers and is now the Network Computer Division

strategist for systems management and server support. Mark has

received five major technical awards for networking architecture

and products. He holds several patents in the networking area.

Mark received an Sc.B. in applied mathematics from Brown

University, Providence, Rhode Island, in 1970 and the Ph.D. in

computer science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel

Hill in 1977. He taught undergraduate- and graduate-level

computer science at North Carolina State University between 1977

and 1979.</p>
